'Healing stone' for Lough Derg - The Irish Times - Fri, Jun 15, 2012
i won't be visiting it.
it doesn't represent ANYTHING. it's not 'healing' anyone, nor is it a sign of repentance. it angers me profusly . so many suffering survivors and they think a stone makes a difference!
A site to discuss clergy sexual abuse of children and adult women. I founded MACSAS - UK. I live in Ireland. I was raped by an Anglican priest in the 1980's in the UK.. I later discovered he'd molested many other young adult students. My 2009 PhD was entitled 'The well from which we drink is poisoned - Clergy Sexual Exploitation of adult women'. my other blog discusses abuse of disabled children, disability rights: http://drragingwheels.bogspot.com

i agree i am just back from lough derg and had a wonderful pilgrimage which unfortunately was marred by having cardinal brady on the island and then on the altar assissting with the mass , communion and confessions and to top it all when i saw the healing stone i was disgusted . Will go back again to lough derg but will avoid the stone ...stones are hard and empty have no feelings and can hurt you just like some priests .
ReplyDeleteThe Stone is now 'Silent' no-one talks of it....just as they intended. hidden away...
